Dangerous Fiancee

Chapter 184

Mrs. Chester's maid, Annette and a man, apparently Shahar's attendant, stood a little far from the table. What was unusual about their presence was that they were ready to write, holding a pen and paper.

Mrs. Chester said, "I really believed this kind of meeting would happen from the moment that the late Duke Hubble presented a sword to your mother Empress Alessa. To be more precise, from the moment that the late Duke Hubble asked you to deliver the sword to Empress Alessa."

She got down to the point right away instead of beating around the bush.

"Probably the late Duke Hubble asked you to take over the role that Ober was supposed to assume in the future, right?"

Shahar sat arrogantly on the couch and tilted his head slightly. He ostentatiously moved his long twisted legs up and down .

"But does it make sense for Faisal's proud prince to take over his place? No way. That was really a rude offer," Mrs Chester said.

"You bet. Wouldn't there really be a position perfectly suitable for him?" Elias chimed in, trying to support her.

Resting his chin on his hand, Shahar looked at the two alternately and loosened his twisted legs. The heel of his boot made a squeaking noise when it hit the floor.

"Why aren't you honest with me? Mrs. Chester, you want to tell me your son Ober has an eye on a particular position, right?"

"Of course, that's true, too. Everyone has a position suitable for them. Don't you think Ober also has a position suitable for him?"

She retorted with an elegant voice. Chuckling, Shahar turned his eyes at Ober, "Ober, you're a carbon copy of your mother."

"I sometimes hear the same thing from many people."

"Sometimes we can't believe a man was born to the same parents because of his different looks, but sometimes we can immediately believe a man is a chip off the old block. Isn't it amazing, Sir Ober?"

Shahar's next prey was Elias. When he turned his attention to him suddenly, Elias cleared his throat and said, "Oh yes, you're right. Look at my children. My son takes after me, but my daughter doesn't. Everybody says she takes after my wife more than me."

Shahar burst out in laughter at his reply, thinking to himself, 'How stupid this guy is! I'm mocking your temperament now, man!'

At that moment, Shahar erased the lingering wishes that remained in him. He felt the late Duke Hubble's forces would switch their loyalty to Ober. Elias was too stupid to rule great power.

While Elias was laughing without knowing which way the wind was blowing, the rest of the people there hid their mockery of him by laughing. Even his wife felt pitiful about her husband.

"Good. We don't have to beat around the bush as we are in the same boat anyway."

Shahar leaned forward a bit in the chair.

"If you help me gain the honor I deserve, I will help you take over the position you duly deserve."

"What a wise decision!" Ober praised him slyly. He bowed to Shahar out of courtesy.

"Would you like to hear my secret plan right away?"

"It looks like you are very well prepared. What would you have done if I had refused your offer? "

"Well, I thought I didn't have to worry about that because you are not stupid enough to miss this golden opportunity. "

"You're also good at picking up good words to listen to. You are a man of versatile talents, Ober." Shahar smiled in satisfaction, resting his chin on hand.
